Why do you say that? I'm don't think Bulaga is that good at LT too and he seemed to be best at LG. I'm not so sure Bakhtiari is the LT type given his bulk; I could be wrong.

I remember a couple years ago during the preseason we used Bulaga at LG and Newhouse at LT and that seemed to be a great combination. Bulaga was playing NASTY. He was the first guy off the ball and ploughing people over. Starting to think we should move Lang out to T on either side and let Bulaga play there.

If they put pins in there could this second surgery be one to take them out...?

This is the most likely need for the second surgery. Often times, the fixations screw(s) used to stabilize the fracture will break after enough time. Given that he is 300+ pounds and likely working hard with weight training, running, impact activities, etc, screw failure is a high probability. If they screw did fail or was backing itself out (bone growth/healing), they can be quite painful.

Hope things are progressing well and quickly for him, want to see what he can bring to the OL.

Good info and I agree with your last statement. I'm kind of sick of waiting around and discussing this when there hasn't been too much info coming from the team and TC is a couple months away...

It makes sense in that the initial surgery was really of the emergency type thing. Not a lot of planning and prepping for. Get things stabilized from the fracture perspective, make sure blood supply and nerve function is maintained as much as capable. Length of time in cast and nature of fixation of the fractures themselves can cause secondary issues (as was noted at either knee or ankle). Those things can not show up until enough stress is placed on things...running would do it, while walking and other movements might not.

Hopefully he is getting better and closer. Considering the GB medical staff, I know they will be overly conservative with the process. PUP for first 6 weeks, then start the practice process and see where he is at.

that is great news about sherrod, welcome hearing that and i hope he can come in and put in some good work for us. Could not be happier for the guy_________________Cutler Cutlering. Its so beautiful - Bears Are Legit
